This is what I heard about later.

Immediately as the smoke cleared Piper began, "Send me along too, Blue might need a hand..." and Deacon actually shoved his way into the machine and hollered, "Pull the lever!"

Sturges hesitated, but I guess he decided a stranger in sunglasses was an acceptable sacrifice and did it. The lightning flashed but Deacon remained where he was, his white shirt now slightly singed.

There was immediate panic at this and poor Sturges immediately got, "What happened?!" form everybody. He checked the equipment and realized something even worse. "Nothing's wrong. The transmission was turned back from the other end!"

"Institute knows where we are. Damn!" And Preston went to hit the red alert. All of Sanctuary spent the next hour in our sniper nests waiting for a synth invasion. That didn't come, thank goodness. But that's what happened right after I left.

Of course when Sturges tried to bring me back I wasn't there.
